Applications

Drag cutting

For dragging the torch directly across the work piece

Fine feature cutting

For narrow kerf width with minimal dross and heat affected zone

Flush cutting

For cutting closer to base materials using a 45 degree

Max control gouging

For precise metal removal, shallower gouge profiles and light metal washing

Max removal gouging

For aggressive metal removal, deep gouge profiles, and extreme metal washing

Mechanized cutting

For portable automation and table cutting

Benefits

Maximum productivity

Finish jobs faster with cut speeds five times greater than oxyfuel on 12 mm (1/2”) mild steel
Superior cut and gouge quality let you spend less time on grinding and edge preparation
100% duty cycle maximizes your cutting time
Multiple, easy-to-use torch styles let you tackle a wide variety of jobs using the same system

Easy-to-use for cutting and gouging

No need to change the air pressure – Smart Sense™ technology ensures that it is always correctly set
SpringStart™ technology ensures consistent starting and a more reliable torch
Drag cut at full output with a patented shield that reduces dross buildup for smoother cutting

Lower operating costs

Consumable life up to four times longer than other systems in this amperage range
Electrode end-of-life detection protects the torch and workpiece from damage by automatically stopping power when the electrode is overused

Built to handle tough jobs

Hypertherm Certified™ reliability ensures peak performance even in the harshest environments
Duramax Hyamp torches are designed for high-impact and heat resistance
